Western Mechanical - HEVI Vessel move in Hamilton Ontario

Western Mechanical was contracted to Hooper Welding in Hamilton, Ontario to offload and move into their sandblasting tent, two vessels measuring 155'-6" long and 10'-0" diameter, weighing 400,000lbs. Western, with the help of Rail Tran Services, moved the vessels in under our 400T Hydraulic Gantry, picked the vessels off of the rail cars which delivered them and then placed them onto our Goldhofer PST/SL-E (45) hydraulic trailers. Once the crew had disconnect the rigging from the Hydraulic Gantry, they used the Goldhofers to relocate the vessels from the rail siding into Hooper Weldings sandblasting tent.
The entire project had a duration of 2 1/2 days. Special thanks to H.B. Photo Services for providing us with this video. You can find out more about our heavy lifting, transportation and millwright servies at www.westernmech....
